Chapter 2476
Jackie raised an eyebrow as he suddenly asked Rudy, “Can you tell what realm my strength is at?”
Rudy was taken aback for a moment before he looked up.
He used his senses to assess Jackie’s strength for a good while before, eventually, his lips twitched somewhat
awkwardly.
“I can’t! So what, though?” scoffed Rudy haughtily.
“No matter how strong you are, you’re probably at the middle-stage of the innate level at most!”
Jackie smiled wryly, not saying anything.

Grayson frowned and asked, “Did you learn some skill that lets you hide your strength? Why can’t I tell what realm
you are either?”
Jackie shook his head; he did not learn anything of such sorts.
The internal damage he had suffered back then was what caused his strength to seem like it was concealed
Jackie decided to make use of his situation the moment he noticed this. He deliberately did not heal some of the
injuries, wanting to prevent others from studying him.

Rudy and Grayson, on the other hand, were not that strong.
They were two whole levels below him.
On top of the fact that he had deliberately hid his strength, there was no way for these two to know how strong he
was. That was precisely the effect Jackie had wanted.
Rudy choked as he threw away the white fur on his hand. “Alright, you two tell me: what are we supposed to do?
How do we get out of here?
“We can’t even control the spiritual vessel, let alone repair it. If we want to get out, we’ll have to walk out on foot.
Yet, we don’t even know where this place is…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that moment, the tears on Rudy’s face started to fall again. The fear of the unknown future made him lose his
composure.
Two out of the three of them had plunged into hopelessness.
The tears gathered in their eyes for a long time before they finally started falling. What started out as soft sniffs
turned into full-blown sobs.
Rudy felt like he was in a state of complete forlornness.

Jackie watched on as the two of them crie pathetically, his lips twitching in exasperation in the process.
Those who did not know what was happening would think they had lost their parents.
These two, prior to this whole mess, pompously paraded themselves before him, and their arrogance even shot
through the roof.
They had so much pride in themselves that it did not seem like it could be shaken! Jackie understood that they had
merely been putting on a show. The moment they faltered, their hearts shattered.
“I really don’t want to die,” whimpered Rudy. “I’ve just started on my path, and I still have such bright days in front
of me! Life truly is cruel to me if I die here!”
Grayson was deeply affected by Rudy’s words.
Grayson’s talents were even better than Rudy’s. Grayson had been able to receive all the benefits he wanted to in
the Rosefinch Pavilion, yet he himself had fallen into such a despairing pit.
He was about to die in a deserted forest. Not even his body would be left behind.
Grayson sobbed as he said, “What do we do next?! I don’t want to die here! If we keep waiting here, we’ll probably
end up having lunch for those beasts soon!”
The moment he thought that he might be ripped apart and swallowed by the beasts that lurked in the area,
Grayson’s eyes darkened with despair.
He almost fell to the ground at that moment.
Jackie looked on as Grayson and Rudy wailed and lamented about their fates. He sighed helplessly before he turned
to look deeper into the forest.
It was pointless to weep; what mattered most at that moment was finding a way to survive.
Chapter 2477 Alas, massive trees lined his sight wherever Jackie looked, and he could not even make out the
cardinal directions, let alone walk out of the forest. He exhaled a long sigh.
Just as he was planning the next course of action, Jackie suddenly heard a rustle. With a frown on his face, he
snapped at Grayson and Rudy, “Shut up right now! Something’s coming!”
Both Grayson and Rudy shuddered at Jackie’s warning,and their sobs ceased instantaneously.
The way the two of them were acting earlier, they had completely ignored the fact that their wails could attract any
nearby beasts,
They both did not even dare release the breath they held after Jackie’s warning.
Jackie raised an eyebrow as his ears perked to detect the sounds around them. He tried to observe his surroundings
as he sent out his senses to feel everything around him.
They were in a foreign place at that moment, where danger could happen at any moment. If they were not careful,
the three of them truly could end up being beastfood.
After all, everything alive around them were high-level fiends, and even Jackie was just in the innate stage. If a
divine solidifying realm fiend appeared, the three of them would die in a single blow.
The rustles from earlier were heard again. Jackie took a deep breath as his sharp eyes shifted to the source of the
noise. What he saw was a golden three-headed snake ślithering toward them.
That three-headed snake was, thankfully, an ordinary beast that posed no danger at all.
When the trio realized that it was the snake all along, Grayson and Rudy finally loosened up and regained their
breathing. Nonetheless, the two of them no longer dared to sob so loudly.
Rudy wiped away his tears with his sleeve. “This truly is a wretched place! I can’t even cry loudly… I don’t even
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmknow when I’ll die!”
Grayson sighed, not saying anything. Jackie, meanwhile, merely stood there quietly. His eyes continued to observe
their surroundings.
After a moment, Jackie suddenly remarked, his tone low and calm, “We still don’t know if we can leave this place or
not, but the first thing we need to do is make sure we’re safe for now.
“We’ll die instantly if any high-level beasts appear, especially without good preparations.”
Jackie was nowhere near as erratic as Rudy and Grayson.
Rudy raised his eyebrows and looked at Jackie strangely. Rudy noticed that Jackie had become exceptionally serious
and cold ever since they got to that forsaken place.
It was as if Jackie would not be scared at all no matter what they encountered, a stark contrast to himself and
Grayson.
Rudy lightly snorted. “Don’t tell me you’re not afraid at all. Aren’t you worried you’ll die here? What’s the point of
acting so level-headed for? Are you trying to make me and Grayson look like fools?”
Jackie was reaching his limit with him, wanting so badly to smack him squarely across the face at that moment.
This brat, Rudy seemed to be so competitive no matter when it was. No matter in what way, Rudy seemed to want
to be better than Jackie.
Jackie could not be bothered to answer that question. Instead, Jackie earnestly said, “The question we need to think
about now is what we’ll do if any danger happens later.”In truth, you two are just slowing me down, and I’m just
saying all of this to give you a chance to live. If the two of you want to continue moping around and venting instead
of hurrying up and finding a way out, then that’s your problem.”
Jackie’s words were rather harsh to the ear, but they managed to snap both Rudy and Grayson out of their mini-
episode.
Grayson frowned.
Even though Jackie’s words were rather insensitive, they were no doubt useful words to heed at a moment where
lives were at stake.
